BALL MESH

 

Description: The BALL MESH function creates a spherical mesh using either solid elements or shell elements. The solid element option creates a hexahedron and tetrahedron mesh of a sphere using the diameter and mesh size values input into the BALL MESH table. The sphere will be centered at the X, Y and Z location specified in the table.

 

If the Surface Mesh option is selected, a shell mesh will be created using the center, diameter and mesh size parameters specified.
